We use a very slightly modified Cuirass at commit
6cf84a43bb6160e11ede96820a8bc563aa7461ef on berlin.

I confirm that visiting this URL still results in an error:

   https://ci.guix.gnu.org/eval/7008

(Looks like the cuirass-web service still writes to the same log file,
so I can’t actually see the message amidst all the build logs…)
